Good to know. Thanks for the heads up. Switching to KeePassXC-full when it becomes available.

Sadly. Now, though, Mozilla has instructions you can follow to return to their PPA.

Yeah, kind of.

I’ve been using it ever since Ubuntu switched over. No major issues, though I have to launch Calibre (the ebook manager) via the command line with a special environment variable because the developer is anti-Wayland. I’m looking for alternatives.

The Panasonic ToughBook and ToughPad series are engineered to be, like the name implies, tough. I had a customer who purchased those almost exclusively, and I never had anything bad to say about them (except for cost).

My T470 worked just fine without thinkfan installed. Is that just something model-specific?

I use Scrivener for writing. Aside from one or two minor display bugs, it works great on WINE. Switch the UI to GNOME’s Cantrell font and it blends in fairly nicely.

Switching from Word to LibreOffice Writer was hard. Sure, I figured out documents on my own, but it still won’t print envelopes correctly (the printer doesn’t respect the margins and orientation compared to my Windows install).

I assume changing platforms and apps is harder when you use your computer to make money. I feel for the OP in the screenshot. Assuming his hardware is compatible, I’m sure he could take some time to learn a FOSS alternative but it’d be a while until he was proficient enough to make a living. The commenter was dickish but correct. Still, let’s not assume switching apps is as easy as switching gas stations.

All right, OP’s in the club!

That firmware part isn’t new. Back in the day when we were dual-booting Linux on PowerPC Macs, macOS was still needed for firmware updates.

tl;dr, podcasts are expensive to produce, about $1000/hour with video, hosts (local and remote), and post-production. TWiT is going through hard times and some shows and hosts have to go. Sadly, FLOSS was on the chopping block.

Advertisers just aren’t interested in podcasts anymore. If you still want to support the network after this, give Leo $7/month and join Club TWiT. I don’t give a rat’s ass about Discord, but I do want to prevent stuff like this.

Validrive is a new tool that’s quite good at detecting fakes.

I tried Linux when I was younger. I decided to try Gentoo on underpowered hardware with zero Linux experience. I credit that uphill battle for teaching me Linux! I used that until I got into dependency hell and switched back to Windows for a while. I needed PowerShell and stuff for my old job, before it went cross-platform. It was fine.

A few years later, I was dual-booting again. Then, Windows 10 began blue-screening randomly. I couldn’t figure out why. Reinstalling didn’t work. So I started using Linux full-time and I’ve never looked back.

Even when I found out that one of my memory sticks had been half-inserted for months, and that’s probably what made Windows crash all the time. How did Linux handle it? Obviously, because it’s better.

Instead of sharing the image, why not share the scripts or steps used to make it? Other people raised some fine points, but for me, my German is very poor.

It’s lined up with the main portion of the keyboard. Ergonomically, it makes perfect sense, even if it looks wrong.

I use Monal on iOS and it’s worked quite well so far. I admit I just joined the XMPP adventure.

Nobody has ever given me a dime. But they do give me bug reports, pull requests, and the occasional email or toot of gratitude.

How do you think file systems would be handled? Apple’s SCSI/FireWire/USB/Thunderbolt Target Disk Mode just made all disks available over the interface in a filesystem-agnostic manner. Would I be able to see my ext4 boot partition, ZFS arrays, and any attached volumes?

Though FireWire wiped the floor with USB 1.1, FireWire 800 outperformed USB 2.0 (especially in S3200 mode), and there were even plans to use fiber to run at speeds USB wouldn’t match until USB 3.2 Gen2. Sadly, the technology was ultimately doomed due to the higher costs of implementation. At first, a FireWire controller was more expensive than a USB controller, though prices would eventually drop. That’s to say nothing of Apple, Sony, and Panasonic initially wanting a $0.25 royalty per port, which would quickly add up for manufacturers.

Steve Jobs officially declared FireWire dead in 2008. Still, development continued into 2013, and all the major operating systems still support FireWire peripherals to this day — even Apple Silicon Macs, via a Thunderbolt adapter. (However, Microsoft removed FireWire networking starting in Windows vista.)

I came here to complain about Flatpak vs. .deb, and left with a new thing to try.
